EPOXY RATIOS
The most common question that we receive is "How much per gallon of epoxy?". This is a very valid question and unfortunately there is no set answer due to the numerous types of applications and variations.
For our pigment pastes it takes only a little to color the epoxy resin!
For example:
- Are you looking for an opaque or transparent look?
- Lighter colors may take more pigment to achieve the color.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN COLORS
You can create your own unique color blends by mixing our pigment paste colors together. For example, use our Satori White and Kokuyo Black pastes to create a grey and so on!
Do you want some metallic in your paste color? Our pigments and pastes work well together. Feel free to add a pigment powder to your paste until you achieve the desired look.

RAL TO PANTONE CONVERSION CHART
MY EPOXY RESIN PROJECT IS NOT DRYING
This could be due to using too much paste compared to the amount of epoxy resin used. Reminder, it takes only a small amount of paste to achieve color. This doesn't happen often if any at all but this paste MUST be used / mixed with epoxy resin and not by itself in order for it to dry.

DON’T TOUCH the shiny interior surface of the mold.
Touching, rubbing, or wiping the shiny interior can cause permanent scuffs or marks that may appear in your finished casting.
Cleaning Your Mold
Use Scotch tape to gently remove dust or loose particles. Lightly tap the affected area with the sticky side of the tape. Avoid rubbing or wiping the shiny interior surface.
Mold Release
Mold release is not required when using our silicone molds. However, using mold release can help extend the lifespan of your mold by reducing wear during demolding.
Important: Mold release may change the surface finish of your casting from high-gloss to matte or satin. If maintaining a glossy finish is important, we recommend avoiding mold release. If surface finish is not critical, mold release can be a great way to extend the life of your mold.
We recommend Ease Release 200. Always follow the manufacturer's application instructions.
Avoid Excessive Heat
Use EXTREME CAUTION with torches or heat guns when removing bubbles from resin. Excessive heat can damage the silicone and may cause the mold to tear during demolding. Consider using a light mist of isopropyl alcohol when appropriate for your resin system.
Allow Resin to Fully Cure
Always allow your resin to fully cure before demolding. Removing a casting too early can cause uncured resin to stick to the silicone and may damage or tear your mold.
Resin Safety
Always follow the resin manufacturer's instructions and recommended safety precautions, including appropriate ventilation and personal protective equipment.
Please Inspect Your Mold Before First Use
Because our molds are handmade and made to order, please contact us with any questions or concerns before casting. Used molds cannot be returned.
